Letter from Penryn,

EDS. RECORD UNION: The writer has just
completed a tour of inspection of the or
chards and vineyards in the immediate
vicinity of Penryn, and finds that within a
radius of one and one half miles east, north
and west and one mile south of here, the
damage done by the late frost is very light
except in few low places along the ravines,
where Mission grapes mostly, and tomato
plants, and few vegetables were planted
but the total loss will be but few acres in
the aggregate.
The vineyard of L. Bannon, a mile and
half west of this place, comprising about
twenty acres of choice shipping grapes, was
not injured at all; and that of Mr.. Kaiser,
about forty acres, was only slightly injured
in few low spots. Young orange trees
unprotected, grape vines, tomato plants,
ETC., planted at this elevation-650 feet
were not injured in the least, but lower
down towards the valley, at an elevation of
from two to three hundred feet, the vine
yards and vegetable gardens are almost q
complete ruin.
The vineyards between Sheridan and
old Virginia Town suffered TO a considera-
BILE extent, and in some places the fig trees
were bitten.
1t is reported that much damage has been
done in some of the low lands southeast OF
Newcastle, one of the oldest vineyards being
badly bitten, and in one instance even
peaches and cherries are said to have been
slightly nipped when planted on low
ground. In some places only an occasional
vine or plant was touched by the frost.
The property holders in this locality are
better satisfied than ever with their loca-
ton. This frost will enable newcomers to
see the proper altitude in which to plant
citrus and other fruits.
The citizens of Penryn and vicinity are
preparing to celebrate the glorious Fourth
in manner well becoming residents OF
the citrus belt. CITRUS.

A RIGHTEOUS PROTEST.

After the statement was made by the
dispatches, in the regular order of news,
that Kissane and Rogers are one and the
same, certain sheets that revel in personal
scandals took especial pains to parade it
before the public day after day, the fact
that Reuben Fl. Lloyd of San Francisco is
brother of Rogers This was done with
the persistency of venom, and coupled
with insinuations and sensational conjec-
ture, testifying to disposition to fix in
fanny upon Mr. Lloyd if possible, for the
reason that many years ago, to disassociate
himself from the notoriety and crime of
his brother, he had assumed the name
under which he has lived in San Francisco
for over quarter of a century, pursu-
ing an honorable profession, in which he
has risen by study, ability and deserv-
ing, to high rank. These scUrrilous
sheets, that prowl about and live upon
the carcasseS of scandal, and batten upon
the miSfortunes of the innocent, not con-
tent with attempting to drag this man
down, demanded to know of the great
civic Orders to which Lloyd belongs what
they proposed TO do about it. The Knights
Templar of California have given an en-
phatic answer. They have entered their
protest against the infamous attempt to
drag Lloyd down to the level of his de-
famers by re-electing him, unanimously, to
the highest position in the organization
though to do so involved breaking the
usual line of succession, and staying the
official advancement of his colleagues.
So, too, the Grand Lodge of the Indepen-
dent Order of Odd Fellows has entered its
protest, by electing Mr.. Lloyd Deputy
Grand Master of the Order These two
powerful and representative bodies-the
foremost of confraternal organizations-
have thus rendered verdict of condem-
nation of scandalous journalism, and an
swered with unmistakable emphasis,
"This is what we do about it." They have
voiced the judgment of the people, and
stamped contemplate and pusillanimous
attempt to crush the innocent, for the sins
of others, beneath the heel of Just and
manly indignation.

AMERICANS IN TRADES.

According to the Illinois Bureau of La
Dor Statistics, there are in that State in
membership in trade-unions 54,247 per-
sons. The apportionment according to
nationality is as follows: Twenty-one per
cent. are Americans, SO per cent Germans,
10 per cent. Irish, 10 per cent English and
Scotch, Scandinavians, y per cent, and
Poles, Bohemians and Italians about ) per
cent. The Americans are mainly in the
railroad service, in cigar manufacturing
iron molding and gas and steam-fitting
trades The Germans are mostly bakers,
brewers, bricklayers, masons, carpenters.
cabinet-makers, coopers, furriers, harness
makers, metal-workers and wagon-makers.
Very few of them are found among the
sailors. The Irish outnumber all Others
in the railroad service, especially the
freight handling, and among the brick
layers, stone-masons, plasterers, butchers,
seamen, salt-workers and printers. The
Germans have more of their race engaged
as hod-carriers than have the Irish. The
Scandinavians furnish most of the sailors
on the lakes.
The compiler of these figures in that re-
port gives as the cause for so few Ameri-
cans being in the trades, the fact of their
indisposition to attach themselves to a
single calling. And in this he is undoubt-

THE vITRIOL-THRoWING CASE.

The vitriol-throwing case at Los An
| gees proves how prevalent has become the
| belief that men and women may take the
law into their own hands where the charge
is made that female virtue has been as
sailed. The certainty of verdict of ac-
quittal from American jurors in cases
where women ayenge themselves upon
traducers or deceivers is having its logical
| effect 1t amounts to license to women
to try, judge and execute. OF course it
| puts every man in peril, for bad women
may avail themselves of this license as well
| as the good. Instances are not wanting
| where men have been made the victims
of blackmail and persecution by women
because Of the dangerous liberty given
them to judge for themselves when they
| may condemn and execute.
UDquestionably men have been shot
| down by women and in behalf of women
who were wholly innocent of any ohense
! against them. The case of a New York
| merchant is in mind who was confronted
by woman in his private office who pro-
ceeded to extort the price for her silence.
The man being guiltless of wrong doing,
resisted the levy, whereupon she set up
series of screams, which brought in wit
nesses to her feigned hysteria and to find
ing the two alone in a private office, the
man grasping the woman by the throat.
The merchant was powerless to disprove
the charge of the woman, and so bought
himself out of the creatures clutches. In
| after years she confessed her villainy and
revealed her accomplices. This is but
mild case standing as an example, we
doubt not, of scores of others where the
pistol has played a prominent part and life
has been sacrificed.
No matter what the relations between
Petrie and the Roselle woman, her assault
upon him is wholly indefensible. 1t was
cruel, cowardly, and ought to bring the
| wretch who threw the vitrol in his face to
a long residence in the State Prison, while
iiNA iiOiS No"a dir husoahu, too ptiSilidui-
nous to take the alleged case into his own
hands, and who prepared the vitrol and
instructed his wife to throw it. deserves
severer punishment than the law provides
for his crime. Hanging is too good for so
cowardly knave; it would approach the
measure of justice if he could be pilloried
for life where the excavations of brave men
could be showered upon him.
A married woman of middle life can
never be so situated, nor her virtue so as
saultcd, as to justify her in preparing acid
and placing it ready to her hand to blind
! the offender. ard visit upon him such aw-
full sufierings as Petrie has been called
upon to undergo. Married women in this
| land, where the honest wife may walk the
streets safe from harm, do not need to go
about armed with vitrol as weapon of
| defense
| Tie woman Roselle is guilty of a heinous
crime; so guilty, indeed, as to justify the
suspicion that her virtuous indignation was
a sham. Her subsequent conduct, her I'M
feeling remarks, and her apparent want of
Sensibility, make her crime the more abb
horrent. If the Roselle pair go unwhipt
of justice, ii will amount to free license in
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1887-05-14

California for every man and wife who
pleases or imagines their honor to be as
saulted, to become public executioners at
will. 1t is wholly immaterial what add
yances-if any-Petrie made to the wom-
an, it was the husbands duty to defend
her. No matter what Petrie's crime-if
Anyway have been, the Roselle woman
did not need to call in either vitrol or the
pistol to mount guard over her virtue. The
married woman who is as free to make out
cry as was Mrs. Roselle, according to her
own story, and does not, will always be
open to the suspicion that the assault is
not without invitation. 1t is possible this
woman was wronged, that she was the vic
tim Of Petrie's persecution; but even if
this be true, it remains that her deliber-
ately plotted revenge was cowardly and in
human. She should be made to suffer for
her crime along with her more cowardly
husband to the full extent of the law.

HAPPY RAILRoAp MEN.-Those who are
accustomed to ride on the cars of the Cen
trail Railroad Company were somewhat
surprised yesterday at the actions and ap-
pearance of the employees of the road. A
smile of satisfaction and an air of content
ment seemed to have possession of each
driver and conductor. A Call reporter,
among others, was impressed with the
cheerful actions of the men and inquired
the cause of their happiness. Not long
since the Market-street Railway Company
acquired the franchise and stock of the
Central Railroad Company, but did not
take charge of the road until March LIST.
The timetable was changed, but other wise
everything went on as usual until yester-
dav morning. The men were surprised to
lind upon receiving their salaries that they
had been paid for all overtime from March
| 18th till May list. The standard of day S
work is twelve hours, and heretofore the
men have not been paid extra for overtime,
although they have worked as high as six
teen hours The extra amounts ranged
| from $40 to S15 and being wholly unex-
pected the action of the company was !
genuine surprises. f. Gail, lfay 18Th.

The Gila Monster.

Recently there has been added to the gar
den an animal that is as dangerous as it is
ugly. 1t comes from Arizona, is found in
Montana, and is different from almost every
other animal known to scientists save the
eveless fish of the Mammoth Cave. 1t can
not live in the sunlight. 1t is found in
dark, deep, out of-the-way caves and
canyons, and its breath is said
to be deadly. Now comes the ques-
emitted? The ella monster is species
of lizard, and when disturbed simply
thrusts out needle-like fang, or, more
properly, feeler, the end of which expands
and spreads out like a fan. Some claim
that the poison is emitted from this fan
like appendage; others think that the poi
sonous exhalation comes from the animals
mouth, and is simply blown out like the
breath of any animal endowed with suf-
ficient lung power.
at any rate the ella manster is a fighter.
When he first arrived he was put in a cage
with two rattlesuakes. They were large
powerful animals, and all being reptiles
together no apprehensions were enter
tanned that any differences would arise be-
tween the cold-blooded creatures. Not so,
however The snakes went fooling around
the lizard, which is only about fifteen in
ches long, and filed his little ugly body
full of their poisonous venom. 1t took no
effect whatever, but in the morning when
the keeper came two dead rattlesnakes Law
stretched in the sand, while the little mon
ster was as lively as cricket.
When the animal came on by express it
was packed in box, and by some means
got out The messenger, with more nerve
than discretion, grabbed it by the tail and
thrust it back. When Stevens told him
what risk he had run and how deadly the
animal he had handled was he turned pale
and exclaimed: I" [ wouldn't do it again
for the world"
Its color is sort of dark maroon, with
yellow spots, which brighten after she'd
ding. Its food consists of insects, which
of course can not be supplied in winter so
instead, the ella monster gets one raw egg
a day. 1t makes a hole about quarter of
an inch in size, and soon sucks out the
contents. The animal is confined in an
iron cage, with glass one-half an inch in
thickness, and through small, round hole
in the top the eggs are let down in the sand
bottom by means of wire moose. The
cage is kept in dark place. where no ray
of sunlight ever comes, and beneath runs
a coil of steam pipes, as the animal can
not endure the cold. Its head is not IN
like that of an alligator, while its tail is of
considerable thickness, short and fat

of the State, and make that locality, al
ready the chief attraction for Eastern
visitors and source of special pride to
our people, a notable example of what
public-spirited community can do. The
encouragement of that work should be
very much greater than in the past if it is
to succeed greatly in the near future
There is need for it-not for great money
endowments, but for manifestations of in
dividual interest and for personal assist
ance in making the contemplated collec-
ton for exposition to our visitors There
ought to be given, also, that monetary aid
so necessary to the carrying out of the
work. Few schemes have been more pro-
pitiously launched, and none in this city
have had such unanimous commendation
We need also to conserve and foster the
public-spirited effort now ON foot to re-
claim and preserve the Suffer Fort tract,
and secure for the site public institution
of some character. 1t will be a
reproach if this fails which will long
shame us. There is wealth and energy
enough here, and public spirit sufficient to
make this city notably rich in attractions,
and its public institutions, its parks, drives
and outlying highways and resorts centers
of interest to be sought by visitors, and
sources of qualification and pleasure to our
own people.
A little effort well directed by the many;
little money well expended in these lines
of public improvement and adornment, will
do undesirable good to the Capital City,
and not only attract new blood to it,
but enhance the content of residence here.

eddy correct. Our whole social system and
scheme Of education tend to discourage
young men from learning trades, and
fosters in them the desire to engage in
"business" This fact has had the attention
of philanthropists for some years, and man
ual training have grown up under
the agitation of the subject. The scheme
of Senator Stanford is due to his convic-
ton that he does best for the youths of
the land who trains their hands while
he educates their heads. But there is an
other reason, not advanced until the New
York Ereaing Post projected it into the
consideration is, the mate distaste of
native Americans to engage in the turmoil
of labor disputes, strikes, boycotts, demon
STATIONS and debates about the working
mans "rights." They avoid trades and
manual labor because-let it be repeated
they are unwilling to waste time in the
contention that agitators seek to keep
alive among workingmen and skilled Ia
borers. As the Post puts it, "the Ameri-
can stakeholder, when he finds himself
duped or betrayed, always prefers selling
out to fighting. The American mechanic
exhibits the same popularity. He does
not care for an occupation in which he has
to keep striking to get his due" Who
ever, then, engages his energies in the
efforts to remove these causes of complaint,
contributes to popularization of the trades,
and just that much removes the assumed
necessity of the Trades Unions. The agi-
tation schemes for manual training and of
plans of cooperation, therefore, are di
rectly in the line of encouragement of
Americans to learn trades and the discour-
agement of their disposition =" to live by
